There is something in the expressions of Jennifer Morla, who works in San Francisco, that resonates with Japanese sensibilities. That may be the unique Japanese concept of "space" that she was influenced by. "The space between things is as important as the space occupied by things," is her original expression. At the same time, in her claim that "design does not exist in a world where onlye‘art’fexists" and "design is born of the influence of modern society and also influences modern society," is the self-confidence of a leading designer who is involved in diversified activities.
